POWER OF PRAYER EXLAINED( t&S•
s
Secretary of Norwegian Lutheran`
Church Says Prayer is a Cry •.
of a Soul to God
r
Rev. Lohre of Mayville, North`
Dakota, spoke to the student body',
at the Augustana Chapel Wednes- -..
day evening, October 11,. He spoket'=,
on the subject "The Power of Pray-er."
He said in part, : `There is an
-e- ne- rgy in every heart that should
he developed to its fullest extent.
If it - were developed it would con-vert
the world from a place of con-tinued
strife to a world of harmony
and peace. This energy , is the
energy of prayer.
What is Prayer?
Now the question, "What is Pray-er,"
arises. Prayer is the privilege
we have of communicating with our
Heavenly Father—it is the cry of
an eternal soul to. the living God.
Roger W. Babson says, "Statistics
have proved beyond doubt that the
greatest undeveloped resources of
America today are the resources of
prayer and faith." Prayer aidi in
solving every problem before you,
no matter how small it , may be.
Prayer a Power
Therefore, sanctify whatever you
do with a prayer for the aid and
guidance of God. What a power
you can become in College and
later in life if you but take this
thought with you wherever you go.
The result of neglected prayer is
always most disastrous and since
with its help you , can always do
more than without. Why not in-corporate
it into your everyday life,
into the simplest task that you
have? It will always pay, because

DAKOTA-WESLEYANS
DEFEAT AUGUSTANA
DAUGHERTY'S MEN WIN BY 30-0
Fjellestad, Gunderson and Hauge
Display True Viking Spirit
at Mitchell.
Coach Dougherty's heavy eleven
defeated the Vikings at Mitchell on
Oct. 9th. The final score was 30
to 0, Wesleyan making a touch-down
during each quarter. The
Wesleyans had splendid interference
while the Augustana line proved too
weak. Harmon, Herther and Derr
played a great game for the Metho-dists.
Augies Fight Stubbornly
Most of Augustana gains were
made on end runs because of the
impassibility of crushing Dougher-ty's
line. The Vikings played hard
throughout the game but they
proved to be too light for the fast
Mitchell team. Hauge left guard,
played a good game on the line for
the Augies while Fjellestad and
Gunderson were the best in the
backfield.
The lineup was as follows:
Augustana: — Wesleyan:
Hokenstad, L.E. Scallon.
Boe, L.T. _Smith.
Hauge, L.G. Jensen.
Renaas, C. Weller.
Sorenson, R.G. Beck.
Larsgaard, R.T. Walker.
Leverson, R.E. Round.
Hammer, Q. Herther.
Fjellestad, L.H. Derr.
Halverson, R.H. Wipf.
Gunderson, F. Harmon.
Summary: Scare for Wesleyan;
Touchdowns—Harmon, Derr, Wipf,
Herther (2). Substitutes : Augus-tana,
Anderson for Roe; Wesleyan,
Slemnions for Harmon, D. Walker

"OLD MAIN PARTY" GIVEN
SENIORS BY YOUNGDABELS
Prof. and Mrs. Youngdahl en-tertained
the senior class at an
"Old Main Party" at their home on
Monday evening, Oct. 9. The "Old
Main" idea was cleverly carried out
by tha entertainers. The evening
was divided into three periods—
one period to be supposedly spent
in the music department, the sec-ond
in the sewing rooms, and the
third in the domestic science rooms.
In the music department short
strains of various songs were play-ed
and the members of the class
were requested to write the names
of these songs. The period in the
sewing department was spent in
dressing clothes pins as dolls with
the blue and gold paper with which
each one was provided. Appropriate
prizes were given to the winners of
both contests. The guests were
served a delicious luncheon by Mrs.
Youngdahl in the domestic science
rooms during the last period. Every
one present thought this the most
interesting of the three departments.
MUSICIANS GO TO BALTIC
Tuesday evening, October 3, Prof.
K. J. Jacobson took several mem-bers
of the faculty and student
body to Baltic in Dr. Solberg's car.
They gave a concert in Rev. Solum's
church for the purpose of interest-ing
people in the School of Music
at Augustana.
Selections Appreciated
Miss Dagna Berg sang several
solos with the usual warmth and
ease. Mrs. Jevne rendered a few
piano selections, 'Agnes Snoen play-ed
entertainingly on the violin and
a trio number composed of Mrs.
C. R. Youngdahl, cellist, MTS. Jevne,
pianist, and Miss Snoen, violinist,
was Very weal 'received), Prof.
Jacobson gave a talk on "Christian
Education."
MADISCN GAME
Next Saturday, Oct. 21, the Madi-son
Normal warriors will battle the
Vikings on the local- field. A good
game can be looked for because the
Normalites have one of the fastest
teams in the state. The Augie line-up
is being shifted and no stone
will be left unturned in preparation
to give the opponents the battle of
their lives.
Gunderson was called home last
week but he is expected to return
early in the week. With his return
the Blue and Gold are determined a
victory. Coach Moore has been
shifting his men around in order
to strengthen the line and wail work
them hard the rest of the week in i
order to get them into the best
possible condition for the game
Saturday.
COLLEGE STJDENTS
MOVE LIBRARY
Last Wednesday morning an
announcement was made in Chapel
which was very pleasing to all
students in the College Department.
This was to the effect that all Col-lege
students would, be excused
from classes that afternoon in order
that they might move the library
from the Administration building
to the Old Main.
The Academy students pretended
to be sorry for rather than envious
of those given this task, who, un-daunted,
set to work carrying books.
It seems that no one had realized
just how many books there were,
but everyone worked with a will
and soon the old Main was fairly
littered with volumes of every size
and description.
A few students who seemed to
have more dignity than a desire for
actual labor hunted around till
they chanced upon a rickety old
cart labelled Ford. Besides furnish-ing
excellent means for hauling
books from the Ad., it also furnish-ed
means of carrying weary pas-sengers
back.
All the books were moved that
afternoon and the most part of
them putt back into the shelves.
The work was completed the fol-lowing
day and the library and
reading room are now ready for
use. Having these rooms in the
old Main promises to be quite an
advantage for the students.
INTEREST IN GYM
AROUSED AT BOOGE
Dr. Solberg, Misses Berg, Jahren
and Bue Give Program
at Palisades
Augustana always likes to make
good if she has failed to do her
part. Just tell her about it and
she will do her best. Four weeks
ago the Palisades Young Peoples'
Society, near Booge in Rev. T. A.
Mason's congregation, held a car-nival
for the benefit of our gym.
It came about that no person con-nected
with Augustana could Come
out to present to them the gym
proposition. So on Sunday, Oct. 1,
Dr. C. 0. Solberg with a few of
the other teachers went out to
make up for lost time.
The program was given in the
East Palisades Lutheran church.
The meeting opened by singing of a
hymn. Rev. T. A. Mason led in
scripture reading and prayer, in
which he read the Gospel of Luke
Ohapter II. Miss Dagna Berg sang
two solos: "The Lord My Shepherd,"
and "Teach Me • to Pray," accom-panied
by Miss Aletta Jahren, Miss
Borgnild Bue read, "Lest We For-get,"
by Kipling and "Crossing the
Bar" by Tennyson.
Dr. Solberg brought a very stir-ring
message. He chose for his
text a portion of the scripture read

Prof. Gilbertson is in hopes that
the building can be finished by
Christmas if no hitdrances arise.
The basement will he finished the
later part of this week.
_ The space that is being excavated
is . 76 by 55 feet. The building
contemplated at present is but 'a
part of the greater gymnasium of
the future. This if to the north
of the new heating 21ant.
• Building Ampy Large
It is expected that this building
will accommodate h •e Augustana
students for a nuns; ber of years.
When it becomes I oo small, the
larger plans will be , arried out and
this part will fit in as a part of
the completed .gyn nasium-heating
plant.
Work on the gymnasium Will be
rushed as' fast as me ney is paid in,
said G. H. 'Gilbertson,' the . business
manager.
Official permission to proceed
with the building of ',he gymnasium
was given some time ago, and fur-ther
recognition given last
Thursday, by the BoArd of Trustees
of the Norwegian Church of Am-erica.
DEMOSTHENIANS P,ITIATE
MEMBERS
On Monday evening, October 16,
Demosthenes -made his annual - ap-pearance
in Room. 5 of the Admin-istration
building. The purpose of
his visit was to initiate the green
material which had accumulated on
the Secretary's list of applicants for
membership. Needless to say, they
were anxious to make his acquain-tance
as some of them had seized
this opportunity to bring them-selves
into the lime light of the
college.
During, the evening the program
committee furnished plenty of good
stunts to play on the new ap-plicants.
For instance,= they knelt
(some not "so gracefully) before
"Honest Abe," and pledged to hon-or
and love the members of Demo-sthenes'
elite society. .
First, they walked straight on a
crooked line, and then they played
tennis with their noses. Hunting
for pennies in a floury mess, eating
burnt marshmallows, giving im-promptu
songs and speeches, and
doing "K. P." duty fell to the lot
of the novitiates and the wages
of this pleasure proved to be swarty
faces and a general upruffling.
, By this time'the'-vietin-A-3 had ac-quired
quite an appetite, which was
appeased by the efforts of the form-er
members of the society. It was
now getting late, Father Time was
pointing at 9:30 urging a speedy de-parture.
Prof. K. J. Jacobson who was
present in the capacity of "chap-eron"
expressed the closing senti-ments
in saying that he had en-joyed
the gathering.
TRIO PLAYS AT FIRST
LUTHERAN CHURCH
- Sunday, October 8, _a trio _Pram
Augustana composed of Prof. Carl
R.. Youngdahl playing the pipe or-gan,
Mrs. C. R. Youngdahl, the
cello, and Agnes Snoen, the violin,
played at the First Lutheran church
for the morning services.
They rendered the "Serenade" by
Widor, with much reverence and
tender feeling to the large and ap.:
preciative audience.
"VIKINGS"
At the Student's Union Con-vocation
last Friday the name
"Vikings" was adopted to be used in
connection with interscholastic
activities. To Prof. Youngdahl
goes the honor of the idea. The
name had been proposed at the
meeting a week previous but action
had been postponed until this time.
There was only a slight opposition
and this was based mainly on the
question of originality:
Arthur Berdahl was elected re-porter
for the Mirror from the boys'
academy societies. He fills tire-position
left vacant by Clinton
Dokken who did not return this
year.

Augustana attended these meetings,
some going in connection with their
normal work, others merely because
they were interested in the lectures.
Each session of the entire insti-tute
consisted of singing directed
by Mrs. C. H. R. Hoode, lectures by
Dr. A. F. Winship and Prof. Macy
Campbell, and blackboard talks by
Miss Anna Cordts.
"Who is Uncle Sam"
Prof. _Campbell, who is director
of rural education at Iowa State
Teachers College, Cedar Falls, Ia.,
brought out and discussed some
`live' topics for the teachers to
think about. The center theme of
all his lectures was, "Who is Uncle
Sam? What will be a generation
from now? Three generations from
now? " He then went on to show
that each, and every one of us play
a part in 'making up that imaginary
Uncle Sam, and hence the im-portance
of being good citizens to
make good government.
"Great Need of Proficient Men"
"Forty per cent of the people are

Wastes of Human Life
"It is a part of a good education

TRIO PLAYS AT FIRST
LUTHERAN CHURCH
- Sunday, October 8, _a trio _Pram
Augustana composed of Prof. Carl
R.. Youngdahl playing the pipe or-gan,
Mrs. C. R. Youngdahl, the
cello, and Agnes Snoen, the violin,
played at the First Lutheran church
for the morning services.
They rendered the "Serenade" by
Widor, with much reverence and
tender feeling to the large and ap.:
preciative audience.
"VIKINGS"
At the Student's Union Con-vocation
last Friday the name
"Vikings" was adopted to be used in
connection with interscholastic
activities. To Prof. Youngdahl
goes the honor of the idea. The
name had been proposed at the
meeting a week previous but action
had been postponed until this time.
There was only a slight opposition
and this was based mainly on the
question of originality:
Arthur Berdahl was elected re-porter
for the Mirror from the boys'
academy societies. He fills tire-position
left vacant by Clinton
Dokken who did not return this
year.
